Mother tried to kill herself and her children in Ruabon house fire

 A MOTHER tried to kill herself and her two children when she set in motion an horrific fire at their home in the middle of the night.

Aimee Griffiths, 30, of Ruabon, Wrexham, told her two children to lie down and go to sleep as she started the blaze. She tried to kill herself and her two children by burning down the house she was being evicted from. But her 10-year-old daughter was the one who managed to save the family, she ran out of the house as the fire began to spread and screamed for help. Their neighbors, both in their sixties, managed to pull Aimee and her son out of the house despite Griffiths fighting to stay inside with the boy. She was 'grabbed by the scruff of her neck' and dragged out - and even then tried to get back in. According to investigators, the British woman was drunk at the time. The woman was hospitalized in a mental hospital until trial, where she told psychiatrists that she heard “voices” telling her to burn down the house. 

Four possible seats of fire were found inside by firefighters and more than £50,000 worth of damage was caused to the semi-detached property. Griffiths told how she had eviction looming, she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, her benefits had been stopped, her relationship with her mother and sister had broken down and she was drinking excessively. Griffiths has now been jailed for five years and four months at Mold Crown Court after she admitted arson. The judge said that she was a young woman who had been psychologically damaged by a range of life experiences. He told the court it was a sad and tragic case and Griffiths had endured an appalling childhood.

Personal Reflection
As a mother, we have to take a good care of our family especially our children. In this case, I think the mother (Griffiths) did not care enough about her children and avoid to respect their rights to live. She was drunk that time because of her traumatic problems and stressfulness, I think if that might happen to us we have to hand over our children to our close siblings or neighbor to prevent bad thing to happen and that's a professional way of being a parent.

To Kill or Not-to-Kill in Bullfight

Wikipedia: Bullfighting


Bullfighting (Spanish: corrida de toros [koˈriða ðe ˈtoɾos] or toreo [toˈɾeo]; Portuguese: corrida de touros [kuˈʁiðɐ ðɨ ˈtoɾuʃ] or tourada [toˈɾaðɐ]), also known as tauromachia or tauromachy (Spanish: tauromaquia. Portuguese: tauromaquia; from Greek: ταυρομαχία "bull-fight"), is a traditional spectacle of Spain, Portugal, parts of southern France and some Latin American countries (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru), in which one or more bulls are fought by humans in a bullring. Although it can be defined as a blood sport, it is considered a highly ritualized cultural event and art form which some see as deeply tied to Hispanic culture and identity.

Usually the bull is killed in the arena by the matador, and then it is chained to a train of mules, and taken out the arena.  The bullfighter usually kills the bull ideally by a single sword thrust, which is called the estocada. Sometimes, the life of the bull is spared due to his braveness (indulto); once the animal has been treated, it is returned to live in the dehesa. Such pardons are nevertheless rare. The dead bull is then brought to the “desolladero” (literally, skinning place), a place in the arena compound where butchers skins it, then make parts of it. These parts are sold to specific restaurants. There is (almost) a myth, that the bull can exit the arena alive if he has shown bravery in the fight. This happens once in a blue moon, maybe one or two times a year, on an average of 70.000 bulls killed in Spain in each season. Sometimes the bullfighter is not able to kill the bull for whatever reason (for instance, because he has been injured by the same bull). A bull could not get back to its cage because it learns fast that the “muleta” (the piece of cloth that the bullfighter handles) is a lure, and rapidly it goes for the bullfighter, so, it must be killed in the arena.

Personal Reflection
In my opinion, although the bulls is meant to be killed or else you will the one that could be killed by them, it is still not right to kill the bull in spectacles for pleasure. And even though it is considered as a culture, it still can be changed by only sport not bloody one by not killing it.

Nuclear Radiation Effects in Japan

 Source: Wikipedia - Radiation effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster

The radiation effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was a release of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Radioactive isotopes were released from reactor containment vessels as a result of venting to reduce gaseous pressure, and the discharge of coolant water into the sea. Nuclear plant could cause 130 deaths from cancer globally and 199 cancer cases in total, most of which are estimated to occur in Japan. Radiation exposure to workers at the plant was projected to result in 2 to 12 deaths and there are 167 Fukushima plant workers received radiation doses that slightly elevate their risk of developing cancer.Trace quantities of radioactive particles from the incident, including iodine-131 and caesium-134/137, have since been detected around the world.The World Health Organization (WHO) released a report that estimates an increase in risk for specific cancers for certain subsets of the population and it was predicted that for populations living in the most affected areas there is a 70% higher risk of developing thyroid cancer for girls exposed as infants, a 7% higher risk of leukemia in males exposed as infants, a 6% higher risk of breast cancer in females exposed as infants and a 4% higher risk, overall, of developing solid cancers for females.

Thirty workers conducting operations at the plant had exposure levels greater than 100 mSv It is believed that the health effects of the radioactivity release are primarily psychological rather than physical effects. Even in the most severely affected areas, radiation doses never reached more than a quarter of the radiation dose linked to an increase in cancer risk. (25 mSv whereas 100 mSv has been linked to an increase in cancer rates among victims at Hiroshima and Nagasaki) However, people who have been evacuated have suffered from depression and other mental health effects.

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation is expected to release a final report on the effects of radiation exposure from the accident by the end of 2013.

 Personal Reflection
The owner of this business should have prepared better, especially this case related to people's health. They should have have double-or-maybe-triple or more protection to prevent this disaster to happen. I suppose they should think about the worst effect and make a way out to prevent those effect so it would not happen in the future. If it did happen, they should take care of the problems they have made immediately. The main point is to prevent rather than conquer, because it is harder to take control than prevent it to happen I guess.

Baby Eater - China

Source: Chinese Eat Baby Soup for Sex One Baby Policy Blamed for Killing Babies in China

 

Some Chinese people are known to be eating babies, and the news, which has been circulating through the internet and via email, is shocking the world. That news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos and fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption. The report went on. A town in the southern province of Canton (Guangdong) is now in focus. Chinese folks there are enjoying baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular.


The cost in Chinese currency is approximately Rs 2,000 (which is about US$4,000). Dead babied can be purchased in Taiwan for 70 US dollars for being used as grilled delicacies. It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for eight hours. After waiting for a couple of weeks a reporter walked by to the restaurant when he was informed by the restaurant manager that the spare rib soup (local code for baby soup) was now available. This heinous crimes rise from the fact that majority of Chinese people prefer to have male babies and the poor families end up selling their female babies.

Personal Reflection:
I thought that human trafficking is the worst crime ever, but I change my mind since this news came up. This is disaster!! We ate our own beings, not being that proper cannibals but we ate babies, it is probably their own babies. Jesus Christ! What had happened to us, how come they did not even have a little humanity for those fetuses. I know this is probably because of China's authorities that let us to have only one child or maybe because China's people more likely to want a baby-boy, but at least you don't have to eat them! Why don't they just send it to the orphanage or maybe a family that always wanted a baby but they are sterile, not by eating them (the fetus). The government should have made the more orphanage too, or if it is to crowded send them to another city or maybe country to flatten the population and reduce this kind of problems.

Jesica Santillan's Malpractice

17-Year-Old Girl Given Organs With Wrong Blood Type

Jesica's Story One mistake didn't kill her--the organ donor system was fatally flawed

Jesica Santillan's condition steadily deteriorated after the botched operation 7th Feb 2003.  Jesica, who is from a small town near Guadalajara, Mexico, needed the transplant because a heart deformity kept her lungs from getting oxygen into her blood. She suffered a heart attack (Feb. 10) and a seizure on Sunday, and was in critical condition with a machine keeping her heart and lungs going. Mahoney said she would have died within six months without a transplant. A family friend said the girl has only a few days left.

A 17-year-old girl, Jesica Santillan, lay near death Tuesday (Feb 12) after mistakenly receiving a heart and lung transplant from a donor with the wrong blood type. She died as the victim of an elementary and inexcusable medical mistake: her heart-lung transplant had gone wrong because her blood type and the donor's did not match. The girl has type O-positive blood but was given organs from a donor with type-A blood during the operation at Duke University Hospital. Hospital spokesman Richard Puff said he could not specify how the mistake was made. But he said that the hospital staff believed the organs were compatible and that compatibility had been confirmed. Jesica's body was rejecting the new organs because of the different blood types. Antibodies in her blood attacked the organs as foreign objects. Jesica Santillan's death, on February 22, was clearly due to surgeon and hospital error, but the entire national organ-transplant system also played a major role. The same process that found Jesica a heart and lungs and moved them to the operating room failed to protect her. Jesica's tragic death made headlines. But there have been other cases, many unreported, of accidentally mismatched organs.Given the basic flaws in the system exposed by Jesica's story, it's remarkable that there have not been more deaths.

Personal Reflection:
Jesica's case are likely to happen in my country because there are no strict regulation that organize the practice of a doctor. So anyone could be a doctor, without any title and open their own business illegally, I think because it is so hard for the cops or government to find out those malpractice doctors. But this case must be taken care as soon as possible, because the doctors deals with life and what are we without life right?

Orang Utans are Burnt to Death :(

Source: Orang utans burnt to death in Indonesia

Three female orang utans, including a baby, were burnt to death in central Indonesia after being caught in a fire believed to have been started illegally to clear land for farming. The charred bodies of the endangered Bornean orang utans, believed to be a mother and her two daughters, were discovered among fire-blackened remains of trees, their limbs outstretched and grimaces of pain on their faces. They were found in Bontang, in the Indonesian part of Borneo island, close to Kutai National Park. No one has been arrested yet, but if convicted, a perpetrator could face up to five years in jail for breaking wildlife protection laws. Environmental group the Centre for Orang utan Protection (COP), believe the fire was illegally started by a farmer to clear a small area of land for cultivation. Slash-and-burn forest clearance, mostly to make way for palm oil plantations, is common across Indonesia and environmentalists say it has contributed to the destruction of many endangered species’ natural habitats. It was also blamed for causing huge forest fires that cloaked Southeast Asia in acrid smog last year. Many orang utans had to be rescued from the blazes.

COP carried out an autopsy on the apes after they were discovered last month. The group found they were all female, and aged around 20, 10, and less than one year. Protection group the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies the Bornean orang utan as endangered. Besides destruction of their habitats for agriculture, the primates face other threats. They are sometimes targeted by villagers who view them as pests, and caught by poachers who want to sell them as pets.

In this undated picture taken late on February 2016, shows the bodies of an adult (L) and a baby (C) orangutans after a forest fire at Kutai National Park in Bontang, East Kalimantan province.






Personal Reflection:
It's so ironic that we (human) are so cruel I mean SO cruel, the bible told us to take care of the world and what I got here they (the farmer) don't even care at all, they just care about themselves and their life without knowing some creatures are suffering from what they've done. I hope from this article the readers, whoever you are, could help to stop this.. Or at least, try to protect the utans by not destroying their habitats or even kill them. We live with them, we had the command, we have to respect them and their life, even though they're sometimes disturbing just scare them and they're likely to move away. If you don't want them to be in your land, just fence your land, not to kill.

Unhumanity in a Gay Bar at Mexico

Source: 7 people were killed in a Mexico gay bar, but it’s not big news

At least seven people are believed to have been killed in a mass shooting at a gay bar in Mexico last four month in 22nd May 2016. The shooting took place three weeks before last Sunday’s massacre 49 people were killed in a gay bar in Orlando but was not reported on by Western media.The crime was originally reported as drug-related, with authorities in the country claiming it was “territorial”. In the early morning May 22, gunmen entered La Madame, a gay club in Veracruz, and proceeded to fire into the crowd of approximately 180 people, In total, seven people were killed and at least 12 injured in the attack. Despite this, LGBT activists in the country say authorities continue to ignore the “homophobic aspect” of the crime.

A 24-year-old employee of the club told reporters at El Noreste that she witnessed an armed group enter the bar and open fire into a crowd of more than 200 people.
One of the victims – Luis Donaldo Rivera Calderon – had gone to the bar with his uncle, Luis Manuel Rivera Aguilar.
“They opened the doors violently and drew their guns. There were shouts,” Aguilar told local media.
“They had no mercy. Bullets ricocheted everywhere,” he added.
“The white tiles were stained red. Those who wanted to escape slipped in puddles of blood.
‘It was a slaughterhouse.”
Police said they launched a search for the gunmen, but no arrests were made.

Personal Reflection:
Even though it's a gay bar, it was not a gay criminality included there and the crime was originally reported as drug-related. So, there's no relation between LGBT and these cases. Overall, I don't really  understand why it seems like the police and authorities does not even care about these cases, it looks like they're already gave up and do nothing just a general searching, they did not even report it to the media. I hope they can actually caught those gunmen and arrest them as well and it needs a real action as soon as possible or else they will do the same thing later, and I'm pretty sure no one gonna like that.

Human Being Became Extinct!!!!

Source : When Sex Trafficking Goes Unnoticed in America


The Department of Homeland Security defines human trafficking as a “modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain.” In 2012, the International Labor Organization estimated that there are 20.9 million human trafficking victims worldwide. There are more than 4,000 cases of sex trafficking were reported. And as a whole human trafficking is a lucrative industry that around the globe rakes in $150 billion.

But it’s unclear whether the numbers are an accurate representation of the problem, because many cases aren’t reported. The problem with human trafficking is that of course the victims are silenced, so reporter couldn't find any information.Traffickers also play into the narrative by telling victims, who are exploited for sex, that they are offenders, threatening to call the police and report them for prostitution if they push back. Between the fiscal years 2001-2007, there was a 360 percent increase in convictions compared to the seven previous years. Despite an enhanced approach from the government, the process can still be grueling for victims. A lot of these traffickers, particularly on the sex side of things, have developed dysfunctional relationships with their victims.

Personal Reflection

The human trafficking is a serious problem, because the human traffickers sells "human" and we are humans - the highest level in food chain.If we cannot save ourselves how can we live in the world? We could also extinct like the other creature and there's would be no more living thing in the world. So, as human itself we have to take a serious action to conquer this problems and save our own population. The government's regulations are crucial and vital for this kind of problem. But first it comes to us, how we think about human being and its rights, because as we knew the seller is actually humans too! We think about humans (our being) and we respect each other by not do the trafficking or even violence.

The Whales Extinct!

Source: Whale Facts Marine Mammal Facts & Information

The blue whale is not only one of the most well-known species of whale, it’s also the largest known whale in existence growing to lengths of over 100 ft and weighing more than 150 tons; although 60 – 80 ft. is more common. In the past (pre whaling era) blue whales were extremely abundant (150,000 – 200,000 before whaling began) and found swimming in all of the major oceans of the world, however today it is estimated that there are now only between 1,500 – 2,500 blue whales left in existence.

 There are a number of factors contributing to the current endangered status of whales such as overfishing (it is when a company do the fishing at the area of a particular population of fish which is the whale or other creature's food), aquatic construction (The construction of bridges, dams, waterways), pollution (chemical pollution in the ocean combined with oil spills and garbage), private/commercial boating (ocean become more congested with boats and ships) and commercial whaling (whale hunting), but out of these contributing factors commercial whaling has had the largest affect on the endangered status of today’s existing whale populations. In fact the hunting of whales (by humans) has existed for thousands of years; as far back as prehistoric times. In the past blue whales were hunted for: oil (ex: lamp oil, soap, perfume, candles and cosmetics), food (ex: cooking oil, margarine and whale meat), clothing (ex: corsets and umbrellas), and various other products including tools such as fishing hooks.

Personal Reflection

I think the government have to take a real action and make strict laws to overcome the extinction of whales. He or she should make regulations for fishing, aquatic constructions, boating, and for the disposal or waste of factory especially the one that throw into the oceans, so that the extinctions causes could be controlled. And as human, we have to remember that we given this world and its content to be maintained not to be undermined. It is okay to fishing but not to overfishing, it is okay to hunt but not too much, and it is okay to construct but not to fill up the whole world with constructions. At the least, love our world because it is where we live and protect them from extinctions before we are become extinct too.

Asphalt Melted in India

Asphalt melting: India heat wave kills over 1,400 people 

With roads melting right before your eyes, the heat has become lethal in India, killing at least 1,412 people in May. India's two southern states, Andhra Pradesh and nearby Telangana, are the worst affected areas. The heat has raged for over a week and the death toll there is said to be more than double the toll from last year's heat wave. In Andhra Pradesh alone, it has reached 1,020.The two states have so far recorded over 800 heat-induced deaths, the Indian Express reported. Hot, dry winds have swept across the capital and most parts of north and central India. City residents have been desperate to buy iced water and cold fruit. The heat wave in India is so intense that streets are melting. High temperature of 122°F. Over 1,100 people dead.

May and June are usually the two hottest months in India, with temperatures easily soaring to 40 Celsius and higher. But according to meteorologists, the number of days when temperatures hit 45 Celsius has increased in the past 15 years. Meteorologists say the scorching spell of weather is most likely to continue for at least another week, with soothing monsoon rains expected to arrive in the southern state of Kerala in the first week of June.

I don't think we understand how hot it is in India. Roads are melting and people are doing all they can to stay cool. The heat occurs from the sun and usually our planet earth doesn't got burned because of the ozone. The ozone nowadays is thinning because of the greenhouse effect, and the greenhouse effects are occur mostly from industrial company. What I got here is that in India there're so many industrial building that made India's ozone (obviously) thinner and let the heat pass over the land. That is why I think the government need to take action to decrease those building to save India from heat wave attacks.
